Talc and Turnip!



The Folk (featuring The Gadgee)
King Bear
The Break-Ups

Saturday 21st July at The Ark, Waterloo Place, Edinburgh for £4.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Tigerfest gig way back whenever.


We've been a bit light recently but not without reason (congratulations to Liam). The next gig is with the excellent King Bear (featuring the legendary Kilgour brothers for those that were part of the late 80's/early 90's "remember the Green Tree?" indie-scene) whom I saw play an excellent gig last month at Octopus Diamond.....and The Break-Ups whom, rumour has it, consists of two famous-musician-sons. I didn't realise Bobby Gillespie dated Gerry Rafferty in 1976/7 but the resulting twins have decided to set up camp in our own capital city. I believe the caliber of session musicians was a clincher.

This week I have mostly been watching Vic Reeves Big Night Out on dvd, reading Rip It Up And Start Again post punk 1978-1984, watching Wilko Johnson in amazement on youTube and listening to Messthetic #101 D.I.Y 1978-81 London and Roy Orbison making me cry.
